Song | Mentally Murdered |
Artist | Napalm Death |
Album | From Enslavement To Obliteration |
Lyrics:lee dorrian / music:mick harris | |
Your aspirations, unable to stretch, | |
Beyond the barriers of what's expected, | |
As the free thought you were born with | |
Becomes externally polluted. | |
Lose sight of your ideals | |
In their brainwashing institutions, | |
Predetermine your values | |
To befit your substandard existence... | |
Discouraging creativity, | |
To aim for empty ambitions. | |
Living up to others'expectations. | |
Takes hold of your assiduity. | |
Mentally murdered ! | |
The will to succeed | |
Overpowers the will to resist. | |
Mentally murdered ! | |
Always up to the mark, | |
Set the wheels in motion, | |
A fake sense of security | |
From your invariable position. | |
Sinking in the crowd, | |
A face minus expression. | |
A mouth that echoes words, | |
Recycled from tradition. | |
Your only contentness | |
Is in living a lie. | |
Mentally murdered ! | |
Do you possess the strength | |
To re-create your own life ? | |
Mentally murdered ! ? ! ? |
